living in pothole city is getting too much for me. My zed has been lowered by 40mm and has adjustable koni's on (so I think). Every bump jars my spine and I have decided I want some comfort. Is it wise/possible to have softer suspension so I glide over the bumps opposed to feel every stone in the road? Is it something I can adjust ....... :) Cheers

Hi - Where is the best place to get ones' plenum polished? Or maybe I should ask - where did you guys get your plenum polished? I'm in Surrey! Best regards. AndyGP :rolleyes:

Is there a difference between manual & automatic ECU's?? Would a Devlin chipped & socketed 1991/92 NA ECU be a direct fit on my '90 NA manual?

Hey all, I am later going to be cleaning the connectors this covers injectors, CAS, TPS, PTU and whatever else, My car is misfiring and for now I will do a simple clean to solve it until payday. Quite often I push down on the 6 connectors that are between the gaps in the plenum and always thought they were the injector plugs,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, after looking into more info now I understand they were the Coil packs connectors. So my question is this: Where are the injector plugs and can someone show me a diagram to locate injector’s plugs, CAS, TPS, PTU and whatever else I may need to clean the contacts with? I am looking to get some WD40 or …

Car is a N/A. Right I'll give a bit of background info about this problem: Just finished at the Nurburgring and started to head home. Filled up with petrol, got down the road and found the heater matrix had blown up. Pulled over, a mate of mine managed to bypass it eventually using a bit of pipe running the heater matrix into the car. We started the car back up to make sure there was water still circulating and there was a little rattle at the front of the engine. Now, we noticed my fan is cracked to buggery, so I just assumed it was this, however my friend was determined it was comming from the top end , like a follower noise or something, anyway, he …

Have got a one of these coming in the next couple of days :hyper: what I need to know is the exact position that it sits on the tailgate, so if you have one fitted can you give me the measurements you have on yours. cheers Paul

Looking for a garage to do a wheel alignment on my car in the Medway area of Kent, Paul

Every now and then my speedo needle flips right around to the back-stop and then there is this very quite boinging/chiming sound. Any ideas please, it's bloody anoying 'guestimating' what speed I'm doing when the speedo decides to have a fit? Thanks Tony.

Hey there all. I've recently bought a 1991 Twin Turbo Targa Top. Took her for MOT today which she passed :) but my mechanic suspects the bottom end bearings are just starting to knock. I've rung the owner before the previous owner to see if he had any issues and he told me the noise has been there the entire time he owned it??? He took it to a Nissan garage and they told him the 300's suffer from 'cam bushes' which make a similar noise to big end bearings. Apparently its nothing to worry about and even when replaced it could soon come back. The guy I spoke to has no reason to make anything up so I'm inclined to believe him, but I don't entirely believe th…

Ok the state of play at the moment is that approx. two weeks ago we were made aware there was a potential issue with Ztech trading status, this was from one of their customers forced to collect his zed unfinished, at that time I considered posting the info here but as it was not first hand thought better of it. However this week more direct information from has continued to reach us and has worried us sufficiently that it seems prudent to make aware any one who may have their zed with Ztech needs to collect it now! just to confirm that means NOW!

anyone got any pics, im trying to locate it and not sure what i have to move or even what it is im lookin for lol

I have a brand new series 2 CAS which has the new style plug. Is there a way that this can be fitted to a 90-93 loom? I have the new style loom but found out i have got the manual one instead of the automatic one so it will need to be changed and i cant seem to find a 94 onwards automatic loom from anywhere. Therefore i will get a 90-93 loom and get it fitted. I know that the new injector connectors can be spliced in but can a CAS plug also be spliced in and if so where can i get one?

Is there a certain amount of power that these can handle or are they good for whatever you can throw at them!? Was contemplating replacing them while engine is out but wondered if i had to upgrade them at all?
